Eyes Of Faith

From: Paul Wallace Ministries

 

Joshua 1:9 "I command you: be firm and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord, your God, is with you wherever you go."

 

Discouragement is a tough battle to fight. Moses succumbed to it at times. Joshua would surely face situations that on the surface would look discouraging. Certainly every one of us does. We need to respond with eyes that see the spiritual realm.

 

There, "All things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28), and even the defeats are steps forward. Only eyes of faith that see God with us, working through the difficulty, can claim this positive attitude that keeps us strong and courageous.

 

Are you faced with discouragement? Open your spiritual eyes and see past the difficulty to God in you working good things into your life. Why should we never be terrified or discouraged? The Lord our God is with us wherever we are.
